Oh, the cruel irony of retirement. Now that you have the time to do nothing but vacation if you want, you almost for sure have less money to do it. Don't despair. There are simple strategies that can help make your money go further:

Avoid peak travel times. Almost everywhere and everything is cheaper and more available when it's not summer, Christmas or spring break. The price differences can be dramatic on things like vacation house rentals and hotels, where rates are often cut in half. Besides, it's more fun to visit without the crowds.
